Publisher's Summary:
The widespread tragedy in Haiti following the recent earthquake has as much to do with severe poverty and a dysfunctional government as it does with the natural disaster itself. The country has a volatile history, especially when compared to its neighbors like the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, yet is stable financially and politically. Mark L. Schneider is a Senior Vice President and Special Adviser on Latin America at the International Crisis Group. He describes the people, government and culture of Haiti and why the quake affected so many people so drastically. Then, one of the many challenges facing Haiti is "why" the country is so poor. Lawrence E. Harrison points out that the dominant religion in Haiti is voodoo, "which nurtures mistrust and irrationality." Harrison is the Director of the Cultural Change Institute at the Fletcher School of International Affairs at Tufts University and has spent many years in Haiti. He shares his observations about the country and what it might take to improve its financial, cultural, and political security. Finally, In 2008 Georges Anglade founded the Haitian chapter of PEN, the international organization that seeks freedom for writers. In a country where more than half the population is illiterate and corruption a historical norm, Anglade had taken on a challenging but important role. Unfortunately, he and his wife were killed in the earthquake last week. John Ralston Saul is the president of International PEN. He talks about his friend and colleague - and what Anglade's death means to the country. [Broadcast Date: January 21, 2010]
